Ten Blogs 'til 47: Ten Things You Didn't Know About Me

'Twas the night before my birthday and I cooked and I baked til I was red in the face. Cupcakes and pancakes and sausage and cookies... We're gonna eat GOOD tomorrow. I have always felt like the best way to celebrate my birthday was to show my love for others. Although I make a big deal out of counting down until the day arrives, too much attention sort of embarrasses me. So I try to make it about everybody. Surprised? Here is a list of ten things about me that might surprise you:

1. I would rather cook for 100 people than 1.
2. I have never drank a full cup of coffee.
3. I am extremely claustrophobic. I wasn't claustrophobic at all until I was in my late 20s.
4. I have never had any dental work.
5. I have had 10 surgeries in 6 different hospitals.
6. My first job was as a baker at a restaurant.
7. I have sung the national anthem for 30 years for many organizations including MISL, NHL, MLB, MiLB, PBR, NHRA, NASCAR and The National Dog Show (sponsored by Purina). My first anthem was in front of 10,000 people at the old arena for a St. Louis Steamers game.
8. I didn't have my first real kiss until I was 17.
9. My first concert was a band called Survivor at Six Flags.
10. When I was a little girl I wanted to either be a singer or the quarterback for the football Cardinals.

The more you know, huh? Well, tomorrow is the big day. 47. I am grateful.
